Znojile, Kamnik

Znojile (pronounced [znɔˈjiːlɛ]; German: Snoile[2]) is a small settlement in the hills above the Tuhinj Valley east of Kamnik in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Znojile was attested in written sources circa 1400 as Snoynl (and as Snoyll in 1477).

The name is derived from *znoji(d)lo 'sunny or sun-facing area' from the verb *znojiti 'to be warmed by the sun'.

The name therefore refers to the geographical orientation of the place.
